Streamlining Inventory Management with the EAM360 storekeeper app

In enterprise asset management, inventory often sits quietly in the background ,yet it underpins everything. The availability, accuracy, and visibility of inventory can make or break how smoothly maintenance activities run. If a part isn't issued on time, or if there's a mismatch between physical and recorded stock, operations are disrupted. This becomes even more challenging in environments where teams rely on disconnected systems, manual records, or outdated workflows.

These are the problems commonly faced by storekeepers. Inventory transactions, like issuing spare parts, receiving new stock, or conducting physical counts, typically involve a mix of spreadsheets, terminals, and a lot of follow-up. That is precisely what the EAM360 Storekeeper App was built to solve by bringing inventory operations into a simple, mobile-first interface that works right where the action happens: the storeroom.

Real problems. Real environments. Real solutions.

While inventory management is often defined by structured processes, actual field conditions rarely stick to the script. Let’s take a closer look at what really happens on the ground and how the EAM360 Storekeeper App tackles those challenges head-on.

Inventory changes rapidly but systems lag behind

In high-volume environments, inventory is constantly moving: parts are issued, returned, received, or shifted across locations. The challenge? These changes aren’t always reflected in real time in Maximo. The result is stale data that leads to bad decisions, like reordering parts that already exist or sending technicians on wild goose chases.

What EAM360 Does: The app captures every transaction as it happens, directly from the storeroom floor. Whether online or offline, data is synced with Maximo without delay, ensuring users always work with the latest numbers.

Store operations need speed, not red tape

Work orders don’t wait. When a technician needs a part, delays in issuing materials can mean lost hours and productivity. But traditional Maximo workflows often require desktop access, multiple steps, or waiting on someone with the right system access to process the transaction.

What EAM360 Does: Storekeepers can issue materials instantly from the app. Whether it's a planned issue against a work order or an ad-hoc requirement, it’s done in a few taps ,no terminals, no delays, no paperwork.

Connectivity isn't always given

Many storerooms are located in basements, remote plants, or outdoor yards where network coverage is patchy. This makes real-time entry into Maximo unreliable at best and impossible at worst.

What EAM360 Does: The app is fully offline-capable. Transactions can be recorded without a network and automatically synced once connectivity is restored, ensuring no data is lost and no double work is needed.

Physical counts are manual, tedious and often outdated.

Inventory accuracy depends on regular physical counts. But the process is often time-consuming and disconnected from the system, leading to outdated records and reconciliation backlogs.

What EAM360 Does: Storekeepers can perform cycle counts or full stock counts directly from the app, scanning barcodes or manually entering values. The real game-changer? The built-in Reconcile feature, which flags mismatches and allows users to correct discrepancies on the spot, has no waiting, no escalation, and no clutter.

Not everyone is a Maximo expert

Many storekeepers are domain experts, not IT users. Complex navigation, too many fields, or rigid workflows reduce adoption and introduce errors.

What EAM360 Does: The app is designed with the user in mind, with minimal clicks, contextual prompts, mobile-optimized screens, and role-based views. It doesn’t just replicate Maximo; it simplifies it.

The EAM360 Storekeeper App isn’t just a mobile extension of Maximo; it is a practical rethinking of how inventory should be managed on the ground. Designed for frontline teams, it combines real-time accuracy, fast transaction handling, and offline capability in one simple, powerful interface.

By digitizing every step from receipts to issues to physical counts with built-in reconciliation, the app eliminates delays, reduces errors, and improves traceability without adding complexity. For organizations running Maximo, it means tighter inventory control, faster store operations, and a more reliable foundation.
